Abstract

Many kinds of internal fixation devices were developed so that we can fix fractures more rigidly and let patient mobilize earlier postoperatively even in case of severe and difficult fractures.
Sometimes dual plate fixation has been used to treat nonunion, delayed union, or comminuted fractures of long bones.
We recently encounted a female patient who has three level of fracture of right femur and it was very hard for us to decide how to treat her.
We made up our mind to treat her with triple plate fixation, and on following up we were satisfied wiht the result, so we report this case.
